“neurotypicals have this special way of saying ‘okay’ that makes you feel like shit after infodumping your special interest” anyone can do that actually
in fact i have had this happen to me multiple times from other autistic people sometimes someone just doesn’t realize they sound bored. or aren’t as good at hiding that they Are bored lmao people aren’t always gonna jive with your special interest and it may not really interest them like hate to break it to you but that isn’t a personal attack on you
like i offhand can think of my coworker who also has adhd who says “yeah” in this way when i’m talking that makes it sound like she does not give a single fuck, and she’s admitted that she sometimes zones out when other people are talking (i do this too) even if she’s interested and trying to listen. and sometimes when She’s talking i just start getting bored/losing energy and start trying to find ways to back out of the conversation like that’s just how things are sometimes
so seeing posts like that are really annoying lol like yeah it really fucking sucks when it feels like you’ve bored someone while talking about something you love! however not only does it not automatically mean they’re an ~evil neurotypical but also i’m sure most of the people reblogging that post would never acknowledge that they’ve very likely been the “…okay” person more than once
liberals still refusing to recognize that Kamala Harris had already supported a genocide for a year and that cost her the election is fun. (She also ran as a republican) Incapable of learning political belief system. Like I don’t know how to explain it to liberals the simple fact “the things you do and fight for in power are more important than promises.” And Kamala and Joe Biden spat on the democratic base fighting for genocide. Like they are still blaming Palestine supporters on here. Immoral and stupid people.
For anyone wondering, Blockhead and conehead are terms used to describe the skull shape of golden retrievers. This baby is a blockhead but to anyone unfamiliar, it sounds like the reddit op is asking if this puppy is going to be an idiot.
Goldens have two main head types, Block and Cone (sometimes called slender but I digress). Blockheads have the big blocky heads and coneheads are more pointy. Two examples below.
As far as I’m aware, its just an aesthetic thing and has no impact on their health.
how many other nonbinary/genderqueer people here hate the phrase “women and nonbinary people”
It feels like radfem crap
Like simultaneously saying “nonbinary people are pretty much women”
And also
“Men are bad and only people who are not men are good”
every time i hear that shit i think about that post about an amab nonbinary person who got turned away from a “women and nonbinary people” group of some sort because it wasn’t “for” them and i get so mad
i would much rather hang out with that person than with the kind of people who would “welcome” me into the same group they were prevented from joining lmao
also like personally i have been directly invited to join “women’s” art shows and the like TOO MANY TIMES because they’re like “oh nonbinary women can join too” and i am just like yeah, you see, i’m still not welcome, because i am not a woman. and they always look so awkward, like they can’t understand what i mean. makes me furious
It’s such a flagrant “nonbinary people are just woman-lite, unless they’re too masc to fit my idea of woman-lite, in which case they’re actually dirty men.”
I stopped getting invited into “women and nonbinary” spaces the second I shaved my head and started embracing my butchness, so it’s not even just along AGAB lines like people want to act. If you’re masc or butch AT ALL, you get shoved into “icky man-aligned invader” and it’s fucking gross.
Something i noticed with the Will Smith slapping Chris Rock is a bunch of people that normally seem very pro-machismo and “defending your woman” would come out saying stuff like “oh I bet if The Rock or Joe Rogan told the joke Will Smith wouldn’t have done anything” and it’s like so weird how people keep inventing hypothetical alternative scenarios to give a take over (as opposed to not giving a take)
Like it’s the counterpart to “what if Betty White told the joke and the slap killed her” where an alternate scenario is invented to make Will Smith seem like a rage bound lunatic except in this case people are inventing an alternative scenario to make him seem like a wimp?
I bet if Will Smith’s antimatter clone had told the joke the resulting slap would have vaporised most of LA
According to the New York Post, Will Smith weight 226 lbs (102.5 kg) late last year when he started a weight loss documentary. Apparently he gave up within sight of his goal of losing 20 lbs, so let’s assume he weighed 205 lbs (93 kg) at the time of The Slap. Edward Muller’s antimatter calculator says this would have resulted in a blast of almost exactly 4,000 megatons (for comparison, the USSR’s Tsar Bomba, the largest nuclear weapon ever detonated, was 50 megatons). MIT’s blast effect calculator says that a 4 gigaton ground burst would result in a 5psi overpressure (enough to destroy all buildings and basically guarantee death) radius of 70 km from the Dolby Theater in LA, encompassing not just LA, but Long Beach, Anaheim, Irvine, and Santa Clarita. Furthermore, the 3psi overpressure radius (destroying pretty much all residential buildings and ensuring at least serious injury) would be almost 100km, further encompassing Riverside, San Bernardino, and Thousand Oaks– really just most of LA County.
i am very aggressively protective over nonbinary people who look like they are amab/manly/masc because some of you are very quick to accept nonbinary people who look like they’re afab/girly/fem but shit on anyone else.
and stop saying “afab nonbinary” and “amab nonbinary” because we all know you’re just treating us like “female” and “male” which, yk is the exact opposite of what nonbinary is meant to be.
treat nonbinary people like nonbinary people, nothing else.
hey boy don’t kill yourself. green’s dictionary of slang is available online and allows you to explore 500 years of english vulgarity. you can search by part of speech, source, time period, etymology, and usage. there’s a whole category for gay slang. they even have specific citations listed so you can see the exact context for yourself. boy did you know that in 1927 “to kneel at the altar” was slang for “to sodomize”
some other hits:
Princess: an effeminate and relatively youthful male homosexual or lesbian (1931-4)
Also a lot of early 20th century vulgarity is recorded in Letter from My Father, which is a collection of letters published by a man who’s dad was, in short, a major slut and human disaster who wrote about his sex life for his son. It’s insane. You can find copies of it online & it’s a wild fucking read (literally!) and I think a really interesting look at the life of a person who goes against our stereotypes of what people in the past were “supposed” to be like.
Anyways feel free to add y'all’s favs to this post. & if you use this for gay historical fanfic please share with the class
note for writers: these are dated to the first time they were recorded, not necessarily to their first use. I imagine for many of these, they came about naturally through spoken language before they were written down anywhere. This is especially true of more underground slang because it’s probably being recorded (in ways we still have) the least. So if you wanna use a term but it’s a little off date-wise, give yourself some wiggle room.
also gonna take this moment to highlight two more i found recently:
Best boy: a sweetheart, a boyfriend, a husband. (1893) [w the obvious equivalent term 'best girl’]
Honeydripper or honeydrips: a sexual partner (1917)
Like. Honeydripper?????? That’s so horny I can’t stop thinking about it. We need to bring THAT back
So what this appears to be to me, is an attempt to kill off the meaning behind these holidays; later they can change the law without much pushback.
However.
I would give it at least a week before you panic or fall into hopelessness, because:
THIS IS STILL BREAKING NEWS AS OF TODAY, 30 JANUARY 2025.Nobody has had time to react to this properly; effective organization takes TIME.
Many organizations are pushing back against Trump’s executive orders and keeping them tied up in the courts. I’m sure someone will pick this one up as well.
You can still celebrate these holidays in your personal life, and in fact you should!DON’T OBEY IN ADVANCE
This executive order doesn’t impact STATE government entities, since celebration of the holiday would be up to the laws governing their state. However, I would not be surprised if some states follow suit, and cancel celebrations where allowed by the laws of their state. So see what your laws are in your state, and see if you can support or attend a celebration from your state!

I know we are all like “people in caveman times would drill holes in their head to relieve headaches” andwe go oh that’s so stupid that’s so dumb but like. then I get a headache and I’m like.ooooh I get it I get it. Grug prepare the drill.
21yo catgirl gf who doesnt know what ‘campfire’ is: i just dont get it…. i think you’re trying to 'gas light’ me….

How is bnha anime of the decade…… they aren’t even anime of the hour of the minute of the second
The notes on this post were so toxic that staff just axed em
1969………
Yes, when the original post is deleted from the server (not just the blog, but the Tumblr servers), there is no root post for notes to be added onto, and also no root post for time to be counted from, so it starts from zero. Most computer operating systems use Unix, which was launched in 1971 with t.he epoch date of midnight on January 1, 1970 as 1. Therefore zero is one second behind that date: December 31, 1969. Also, very unfortunately, this also means nobody except you and anyone you reblog it to will see this explanation, as you cannot open the notes to see comments when there are no notes.
I think the surest disproof of all this “Tumblr’s aging userbase” stuff is how deeply uncomfortable the community is with acknowledging that people over thirty fuck.
huh? the tumblr I’m familiar with is crazy about old man yaoi and milfs and suchlike
Yeah, and then you look up the blorbos comprising the “old man yaoi” they’re gushing about and it turns out the oldest party involved is 28.
“Old man yaoi” and it’s about some elfy fuck who’s ostensibly 600 years old but looks like this:
(Also, it’s very funny when folks in the notes go “I think it’s just you, OP”, then proceed to cite as evidence the fact that their dash is full of House/Wilson or Harry Du Bois/Kim Kitsuragi smut. These are men in their early to mid forties. You’re straying a whole decade outside of Tumblr’s comfort zone – how daring!)
Every time that “reading my own fic then realising I have to write it to see how it ends” post crosses my dash I go hehehe. But now I’m going through that with the fic I’m working on. Needless to say, it’s not hehehe.

“goddess” “matriarchy” “female wisdom” girl your civic rights
“But I didn’t and still don’t like making a cult of women’s knowledge, preening ourselves on knowing things men don’t know, women’s deep irrational wisdom, women’s instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior – women’s knowledge as elementary, primitive, always down below at the dark roots, while men get to cultivate and own the flowers and crops that come up into the light. But why should women keep talking baby talk while men get to grow up? Why should women feel blindly while men get to think?”

“Nobody’s going to want to sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours to get from New York City to LA.”
Me. I will sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours. I’ll sit on it for days. I’ll write and read and nap and eat and then do it all over again. I’ll stare out the windows and see America from ground level and not have to drive. I’ll see the Rockies and the deserts and cornfields and the Mississippi River and your house and yours and yours too. I’ll make up stories in my head about the small towns I see as we go along. I’ll see the states I’ve yet to see because driving or flying there is a fucking slog and expensive to boot. I’ll enjoy the ride as much as the destination. And then I’ll do it all over again to come the fuck home.
Me getting slammed with notifications on this post in particular:
Americans will drive 15 hours, why the hell wouldn’t we take a 15 hour train ride.
God, I’d love to be hired to drive that if it’s built.
Right now, a trip between New York Penn Station and Union Station in Los Angeles takes 41 hours by car. Assuming the average speed is about 60 mph, that’s still nearly 2 days to do the 2,791 miles between the two stations.
Imagine if we specifically built one HSR route between those two stations. To do that trip in 15 hours, you’d need a trainset that could go on average 186 mph for the majority of the trip - and guess what? We already have those, just not in the US! As an example, the E5 and H5 Shinkansen trainsets can max out at 200 mph. So this timeframe is actually 100% doable. The hardest part would be actually getting the funding and convincing Americans to get on board.

idk what trans person needs to hear this but you don’t need to change your personality to change your presentation. you can start looking super masc and still be the same person. you can start looking fem and be the same person. you don’t need to have any specific personality or interests or roles to be masc/fem you can just be you.
yes, and also: many people may assume that your personality has changed just because your presentation has changed, so be prepared for this - we were accused of “changing your walk to what you think is a more feminine one” when what actually happened was we stopped trying to perform manly movements, and what was left was our natural way of moving - we’d literally become more ourselves but our friends were used to the masks
My name is Casey Jones. I’m just an American in a land overrun by roaming monsters called The Terrorists. This land is protected by rulers called Presidents, each descended from a noble Founder House.
One time, during a blood test, the results showed that I was one of them. I was an Elite. I was a President.
Now forced to attend the Presidential Academy of Defense, I am taught by instructors Patton and McArt, as I learn to harness my Presidential Power. Will I be able to survive with…. The Blood of Washington?
Featuring: Enemies to lovers, villain relationships, 🌶️🌶️🌶️, Eaglecore aesthetics, Deadly War Academy, morally grey sigma heroes, and an intriguing new feminist take on American Mythology.

okay so i finished checking if we were friends in every universe and, uh, it turns out we’re only friends in 6 of them. but look, i need you to understand these universes vary like crazy, okay? like 6 is actually insanely high, like way higher than most. and one of those is the universe where i accidentally killed the actor who played Dipsy from Teletubbies when i was 7 and my life went completely differently as a result. and we still ended up friends! also you were a girl in that universe for some reason. what? oh, uh, yeah, you were cute as hell. like really cute. did you just fucking giggle
My purpose is not to recreate any works of literature by those whose writing is held in high esteem.
Before being eclipsed by the current carbon monoxide response, there was a particular reaction that Tumblr users had to strange posts on their platform. It would go something like this:
“only {random number between 5,000 and 20,000} original posts remain.”
“we’re running out of posts” “1,386 original posts remain” you guys should trying having fun on here, maybe make some posts of your own, trying out saying something new, i promise you will find an endless well of posts, forever
an excuse to share one of my favourite parts of the spotted hyena wikipedia page
ALT
So you’re saying hyenas are fully befriendable but just too powerful for human society to contain or be trusted with. That if they feel like going outside they will not wait like a dog for a human to assist them, but will simply bite your house open.
![Although easily tamed, spotted hyenas are exceedingly difficult to house train,[176] and can be destructive; a captive, otherwise perfectly tame, specimen in the Tower of London managed to tear an 8-foot (2.4 m) long plank nailed to its recently repaired enclosure floor with no apparent effort.[177] During the research leading to the composition of his monograph The Spotted Hyena: A Study of Predation and Social Behavior, Hans Kruuk kept a tame hyena he named Solomon.[106] Kruuk found Solomon's company so congenial, he would have kept him, but Solomon had an insatiable taste for "cheese in the bar of the tourist lounge and bacon off the Chief Park Warden's breakfast table", and no door could hold him back, so Solomon was obliged to live out his days in the Edinburgh Zoo.[178]](../media/2463131306b68cd3659c8ca4742d59d636444938.png)
